Book Review: Logistics and Manufacturing Outsourcing

Logistics and Manufacturing Outsourcing: Harness Your Core Competencies

By: James A. Tompkins, Ph.D., Steven W. Simonson, Bruce W. Tompkins and Brian E. Upchurch

Outsourcing logistics is a complex subject and not one that should be taken lightly, at least one step would be to read this informative and well-written book, which calls on plenty of real-life experiences.

The single biggest lesson is not to outsource a problem, but to cure them before contracts are exchanged. The other useful tip is to ensure you can measure success. This book is recommended for everyone involved in logistics, you may not be thinking of outsourcing today but with over 40% of all logistic services already outsourced you can be sure you will need to at least understand this before moving on to your next job.
